This is primarily because reform programs are delivered no in controlled environments, but under complex, diverse, sociopolitical and economic conditions. Real-world conditions.In political societies, ownership of reform programs by the entire country cannot be assumed, public opinion will not necessarily be benign, and coalitions of support may be scare or nonexistent, even when intended reforms really will benefit those who need them most.While the development community has the technical tools to address governance challenges, experience shows that technical solutions are often insufficient. Difficulties arise when attempts are made to apply what are often excellent technical solutions. Human beings are not as amenable as are pure numbers, and they cannot be ignored. In the real world, reforms will not succeed, and they will certainly not be sustained, without the correct alignment of citizens, stakeholders, and voice.Governance Reform under Real-World Conditions is a contribution to efforts to improve governance systems around the world, particularly in developing countries. The contributors, who are academics and development practitioners, provide a range of theoretical frameworks and innovative approaches and techniques for dealing with the most important nontechnical or adaptive challenges that impede the success and sustainability of reform efforts.The editors and contributors hope that this book will be a useful guider for governments, think tanks, civil society organizations, and development agencies working to improve the ways in which governance reforms are implemented around the world. | | Contents note: | Governance Reform under Real- World Conditions; Using Political Analysis to Guide Communication Strategies; Public Opinion the public Sphere and Quality of Governance: An Exploration; Citizen Voice and the public Sphere: Scoping Communication Challenges; Dialogues as Communication Strategy in Governance Reform; The political Economy of Reform: Role of the Internal “Journalist”; Securing Political Will; Creating Space for Effective Political Engagement in Development; Using Public Will to Secure Political Will; Organizing a Deliberative Participatory Process: What Does the Science say’ Gaining the Support of Public Sector Middle Managers; Governance Stakeholder Involvement and New Communication Models; Public Sector Middle Managers: The Critical Link To Driving Public Sector Reforms; Working Appreciatively to Foster Cultures of Public Service; Building Broad Coalitions of Pro- Change Influentials; Participation as Dialogue Debate and Negotiation: Entangled Promises and Practices; A Consensus-Based Stakeholder-Driven and Decentralized Approach to Building Broad Coalitions for Water Sector Reforms; Building Pro-Change Multisectoral Coalitions to overcome the Resistance of Powerful Vested Interests; Transforming Indifferent or Hostile Public Opinion; Journalistic Framing and Media Relations for Marginalized Groups; Transforming Adverse Public Opinion into Support for Reforms; Six Big Ideas: ICT as a Vital Toll for Reform; Instigating Citizen Demand for Good Governance; Consulting the Public-Thoughtfully; The Power of Organized Citizens: Fighting for Public Integrity; Cultivating Deliberative Development: Public Deliberation as a means of Improving Local State and Federal Governance; Knowledge for Policy Making: Some Questions and Caveats; Participation Transparency and Consensus Building in Su[[ort of Public Sector Reform: The case of Nicaragua; Communication Coalition Building and Development: Public Enterprise Reform in West Bengal and Orissa States India; Slovakia: Public Opinion and Reform; Building Support for the Rule o Law in Georgia; Tax Reform and Communication in Bulgaria: Getting it Right; Political Economy of Reforms: Learning from the Delhi Water Sector Experience; Mobilizing Middle Managers While Keeping Opponents at Bay: Implementing the Philippine Procurement Law; We didn’t Know People Like me could ask Question like this: A dialogue in Bangladesh; Public Consultation through Deliberation in China: The First Deliberative Pool; | | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=13313 |
